Poland Blames Russia for Deadly Blast Near Border with Ukraine

HeadlineNov 17, 2022

Top Polish officials have blamed Russia for the deaths of two people near Poland’s border with Ukraine, after an air defense missile apparently fired by Ukraine fell onto their village on Tuesday evening. Poland’s ambassador to the United Nations addressed the Security Council on Wednesday.

Krzysztof Szczerski: “Those innocent people would not have been killed if there had been no Russian war against Ukraine. The only fault was — their only fault was the fact that they lived close to the civilian infrastructure on the Ukrainian side of the border that Russia keeps attacking as military targets.”
